About the Show

Emmy winner Debra Messing said it best: "MERYL F**KING STREEP." I mean, honestly, what else is there to say? Here's how the story goes... Messing, who is making her Broadway debut in John Patrick Shanley's Outside Mullingar, was in her dressing room one fine evening when a very special guest—wait, I'm sorry—the specialest of special guests stopped by to congratulate the star. Naturally, Messing freaked the freak out and did the world a favor by taking a photo of her and the one-and-only Goddess of Modern Cinema. Streep, who just received a record-breaking 18th Oscar nod for her role as Violet Weston in the film adaptation of Tracy Letts' August: Osage County, looks downright chic in her glittery pashmina. Also, Messing looks appropriately ecstatic next to her, beaming, quite possibly, the biggest smile we've ever seen. She even hashtagged her photo with #dead and #cantspeak. We get it, Debs. Believe us, we get it. First of all, these two need to star in something together ASAP. Then, you all need to take after Queen Meryl and go check out Debra Messing, opposite Tony winner Brían F. O'Byrne, in Outside Mullingar, opening January 23 at the Friedman Theatre.
